You are the most perfect and supreme lord of all, the controller of our inmost beings, impersonal and attributeless Brahma and the supreme master of all.

TUMA KARUNAA KE SAAGARA TUMA PAALANA KARTAA
MAIN MUURAKHA KHALA KAAMII, KRIPAA KARO BHARTAA
OM JAI...

While you are the ocean of compassion and sustainer of all, I am dull-witted (stupid), wicked and lecherous. O my beloved Lord, be gracious unto me.

TUMA HO EKA AGOCHARA SABA KE PRAANAPATI
KISA VIDHA MILUUN DAYAAMAYA TUMAKO MAIN KUMATI
OM JAI...

You are one and imperceptible by the senses (unattainable); you are also the lord of all the vital forces in the world ( the beloved master of every being). Can I, a wicked one, face you who are so exceedingly kind?

DIINA BANDHU DUKHAHARTAA TUMA RAKSAKA MERE
APANE HATHA UTHAAO DVAARA PAARAA MAIN TERE
OM JAI...

You are, O Lord of compassion (helper of the destitute) and destroyer of pain, my only protector; I am lying (forsaken) at your door; come and lift me up with your own hands.

VISAYA VIKAARA MITAAO PAAPA HARO DEVAA
SHRADDHAA BHAKTI BARHAAO SANTANA KII SEVAA
OM JAI...

Extirpate, O Lord, the defilements of my senses (my sensuality) and all my transgressions, so that my faith in and devotion to you keep on growing and I am able to serve the saints.

TANA MANA DHANA JO KUCHA HAI, SABA HII HAI TERAA
TERAA TUJHAKO ARPANA KYAA LAAGE MERAA
OM JAI...

Whatever I have, O lord, body, intellect and wealth, is all yours. All this of which you are the owner is dedicated to you. What do I lose if I return what is not mine (or by surrendering the gifts you have given me) ?

Om Jay...... All that I possess belongs to Thee, I offer Thee what in reality is Thine, As nothing is truly mine!
